Happy 5 Months!

Here's what's happening with Emily at 5 months:

  - She's back to sleeping through the night (98% of the time).  She usually goes down between 8 and 8:30 and sleeps until 6:00 or 7:00.   She's still not a good napper though.  We're going to have to work on that this next month.

 - She's wearing 3-6 month clothes.

 - She's eating 5 oz. every 3-4 hours.  We tried cereal for 2 days, but have decided to put it off until next month.  Just last night we started giving her 6 oz. to see how she would do.

  - She's laughing out loud now.  It's just the cutest sound ever.

 - Everything and anything goes into her mouth.

 - She's starting to grab things and pull on them. . .my hair, jewelry, etc.

 - She's much more interested in toys now.  She likes rattles and her excersaucer.

 - She's discovered her feet and loves to grab them, which just makes diaper changes that much more fun.

 - She's starting to like her pacifier more and more and enjoys putting it in and out of her mouth.

  - She's rolling onto her tummy much more often and can push up onto her elbows.  Just in the last week or so, she's started trying to get her knees up under her.  She gets super frustrated.  You can tell she so badly wants to be able to move. 

  - Bath time is still one of her favorite activities.  Daddy has taught her how to splash the water with her feet.
